   The ‘Mohalla’ clinics were set up by the Delhi state (provincial) government in India in 2014 to provide basic health services to people of Delhi city and its vicinity, especially targeting the urban poor. The Mohalla clinics are staffed by a doctor, a nurse, a pharmacist and a laboratory technician and theyprovide basic health services including immunisation, family planning and counselling services. The Mohalla clinic program had a good start and its operation was cost-effective; however, it is still struggling to increase its coverage to entire Delhi state as it had planned. The program got caught up in the central government and state government bureaucratic tussle, especially on the issue of acquiring land for setting up such clinics and on the implementation front due to the lack of operational plan and collaboration with the government line agencies. Thus, despite political will and funding a potentially viable urban health programmay have got stuck in the operational procedural complexities and political-bureaucratic tussle. This commentary article tries to discuss the challenges faced by the Delhi government’s ‘Mohalla’ clinics and a possible way forward to scale it up as a model urban health program.

This study aims to analyze and find the ideal legal design of the relationship of authority between the central and regional governments in order to strengthen synergy in public services. In essence, the granting of autonomy to the regions is directed at accelerating the realization of public welfare, through the implementation of government affairs. Concurrent government affairs as stipulated in Law no. 23/2014, is a governmental affair that is divided between the central government, provincial government and district/city governments. In practice, when problems occur in the implementation of concurrent affairs which fall under the central authority, the regional government is in a powerless position. This research uses normative legal research methods with statutory, case, and conceptual approaches. The results of this study indicate that: the absence of a legal instrument that accommodates and bridges central and regional authorities causes problems that occur in the community to continue and do not immediately find solutions. It is necessary to have legal instruments in the form of government regula-tions in bridging the authority of the central and regional governments to build synergy in public services, especially to resolve conflicts that occur in society so that government administration can run effectively.

Since the World Health Organization declared the Corona Covid-19 virus as an epidemic, in the following, the Indonesian Government also stated that the Corona virus problem has become a non-natural national disaster. The President of the Republic of Indonesia and the Regional government together with their staff are helping one another in preventing the spread of Covid-19 in Indonesia. Many government bureaucratic efforts have been made by issuing policies as the initial steps to prevent the spread of Covid-19. As the implementer of the bureaucracy, the Government always strives to provide effective public services in efforts to prevent the spread of the Corona Covid-19 virus in society. From the central level to the heads of the provinces, Regencies and even the municipal governments. This study applies the content analysis method, in which the content analysis is limited to newspaper media which convey information related to some policies information presented by each head of government, both in several regions and countries. The purpose of this research is to provide education to the public in dealing with global disasters and efforts to prevent them. The results show that the bureaucratic efforts of the central government and local governments through various policies have carried out many communication strategies for their respective regional communities through coercion, informative, expulsion, targeting, persuasion and excess techniques in message packages in the form of instructions, to the public to prevent Covid-19 in their area. However, the techniques of coercion up to the approval stage are enforced to prevent the effect of violations on offenders. The central government in this case has not maximized its roles in implementing a comprehensive communication strategy for all local governments. This is due to the absence of the National Command from the central government which seems to be slow in preventing the transmission of Covid-19, which has become a global disaster, including in Indonesia.

Public relations as an occupational group struggles for legitimacy in society so that they need to move toward professionalization. This study investigated the Indonesian government's public relations efforts in professionalizing the field. Since 2015, under the recent presidency of Joko Widodo, there is enthusiasm toward a new government initiative called Government Public Relations (GPR) which signals professional competencies. How this GPR initiative relates to the professionalization of public relations underpins this study. In doing so, it applied two qualitative approaches: first, a constructive approach to the structure of professionalization by reviewing six government policies related to the practice and profession of public relations; second, an interpretive approach to the perceptions and reflections of those government policies by in-depth interviewing ten practitioners from both central and regional government agencies. In Indonesia, the findings showed that licensing is at the forefront of the professionalization of public relations mainly through education, training, expertise, skills, ethical codes, and professional association. The emergence of ICT urged the enhancement of public relations professional roles in creating good governance, including the openness of public information and public involvement. Although these concepts are partially understood by practitioners due to decentralization and early phase implementation, Indonesian government public relations is ‘on the move to becoming professionals.’ Based on these findings, this study showed that the professionalization of government public relations, including the creation of good governance, is a mutual relationship working in a cycle process in the provision of a democratic political system. To implement this process, it is important to consider public sector characteristics in the creation of government policies to make it fully understandable, achievable, and sustainable. Keywords: Professionalism, Public Relations, Indonesian Government ABSTRAK Hubungan Masyarakat (Humas) sebagai salah satu kelompok okupasi sulit mendapatkan pengakuan di masyarakat, sehingga perlu meningkatkan profesionalitas. Sejak tahun 2015, dibawah pemerintahan Joko Widodo, ada antusiasme terhadap program pemerintah bernama Government Public Relations (GPR) yang mensyaratkan kompetensi profesi humas. Bagaimana GPR mempengaruhi peningkatan profesionalitas humas pemerintah melatarbelakangi studi ini. Penelitian terdahulu mengidentifikasi tiga cara peningkatan profesionalitas, yaitu bottom-up, top-down, dan kolaborasi. Studi ini menginvestigasi upaya yang dilakukan Pemerintah Indonesia dan praktisi humas pemerintah untuk membuat sektor ini lebih profesional. Untuk itu, digunakan dua pendekatan kualitatif: pertama, pendekatan konstruktif tentang praktik dan profesi humas pemerintah dengan meninjau enam kebijakan publik; kedua, pendekatan interpretatif melalui wawancara secara mendalam terhadap persepsi dan refleksi sepuluh praktisi humas pemerintah, baik di tingkat pusat maupun daerah tentang penerapan kebijakan tersebut. Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa di Indonesia, licensing atau SK Pengangkatan Jabatan Fungsional Tertentu (JFT) Pranata Humas menjadi syarat pertama untuk meningkatkan profesionalitas humas pemerintah, diikuti dengan Penetapan Angka Kredit (PAK) yang mencakup pendidikan, pelatihan, keahlian, keterampilan, kode etik, dan asosiasi profesi. Perkembangan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) turut mendorong peningkatan peran humas pemerintah dalam mewujudkan tatakelola pemerintahan yang baik melalui keterbukaan informasi publik dan partisipasi publik. Walaupun baru separuh dipahami oleh praktisi karena faktor desentralisasi dan tahap awal implementasi, kedua hal ini mendorong humas pemerintah bergerak menuju profesionalisme. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa proses peningkatan profesionalitas humas pemerintah merupakan hubungan yang timbal balik dalam sebuah siklus dengan dukungan sistem politik demokratis. Untuk mengimplementasikan proses ini, pembuatan kebijakan publik perlu mempertimbangkan karakteristik unik sektor pemerintahan agar dapat sepenuhnya dipahami, diterima, dan berkelanjutan. Kata Kunci: Profesionalitas, Hubungan Masyarakat, Pemerintah Indonesia
